For Sale: 1969 Chevrolet Corvette in Manitowoc, Wisconsin for sale in Manitowoc, WI
Vehicle Description All vehicle trades considered including classics and performance.
We can assist with financing and shipping as needed.
This 1969 Corvette L71 coupe represents the final year for Chevrolet's fearsome 427ci 435hp tri-power setup.
Its numbers-matching engine remains impressive nearly 55 years later, and with a 4-speed transmission it's also great fun to drive.
Combine that with factory red/red colors over the sharp Stingray lines and you've got a very desirable C3.
This Corvette is definitely hard to miss.
It has seen one repaint in its correct code 974 Monza Red color.
There is a big-block hood with the proper trim and 427 badges.
It also has shiny, straight bumpers along with the new-for-1969 Stingray script on the fenders.
Other features include the optional fender vent trim and a luggage rack.
The 15 x 8 Rally wheels wear Firestone F70-15 redline tires which are a very nice accent on this car.
And being this is a 1969 coupe you can remove the T-tops and rear window at any time for open-air motoring.
While this Corvette has a captivating look, the real highlight is under the hood where the numbers-matching 427ci 435hp L71 lurks.
With three carburetors and a solid-lifter camshaft, this was Chevrolet's top-of-the-line street setup.
It boasted factory ratings of 435 hp and a massive 460 ft-lbs of torque.
These engines do have an 11.
0:
1 compression ratio so you will want to run higher octane fuel.
But the reward starts the moment you turn the key and hear that terrific sound which only gets better as you run through the gears.
Note this car is also equipped with power steering and power 4-wheel disc brakes for easy driving.
This example has a vehicle assembly date of 10-2-68.
The engine block is the correct 3935439 part with a casting date of 6-14-68 and an assembly date of 9-9-68.
This was originally a rare LX-suffix automatic (255 built) but has been converted to an M20 4-speed manual which is great on the street.
The rear end is an AU code (3.
36 heavy duty Positraction) with a date of 9-28-68.
This L71 car also has the correct 6,500 rpm tach redline, transistor ignition, single fuel line, halfshaft caps, and larger front and rear sway bars.
And of course, no sign of air conditioning.
The code 407 red vinyl interior is a great match for the exterior and offers a more exciting look than the usual black or tan.
Optional features include power windows, a tilt / telescoping steering column, and an AM/FM radio.
The headlights and wipers all function properly through both the control switches and vacuum breakers.
All gauges and instruments work except for the clock and some of the fiber optic dots.
The horn, heater/defroster, vents, interior lights, courtesy lights, and parking brake are all functional too.
This is one of the most affordable L71 coupes on the market (which recently saw another 1969 model sell for $165k), It represents the pinnacle of the late 1960's horsepower wars, yet just six years later the big-block was gone completely while the base Corvette could only muster 165hp.
This car, with its great colors and numbers-matching engine, harkens back to a better time and does the Corvette name proud.
